The Cheek Swab Test Kit

The Personalized Insights™ Cheek Swab Test Kits can be ordered directly to a patient’s home, and provides all the tools they need to quickly and easily collect a sample to send to our Toronto lab for testing. The test can be done in less than 5 minutes in the comfort of their home or in your clinic/pharmacy, and a special postage-paid envelope is provided to return the sample to Inagene in the mail.

The Personalized Insights™ Report

Once the sample arrives at Inagene’s lab, our geneticists carefully extract DNA from the cheek swab sample to confirm which of the genetic variants that we test for the individual carries. These results are converted into a detailed personalized report, describing the individual's unique predicted responses to the medications tested for (click here to view the complete list of medications). The science may be complicated, but the report is simple and easy to understand.

What is Pharmacogenetics?

Pharmacogenetics is the combination of pharmacology and genetics, and is used to understand how an individual is likely to respond to medications based on their unique genetic profile.

For example, some people may be slow metabolizers of certain drugs, resulting in a standard dose remaining in their body for a longer time than it should, potentially leading to unexpected side effects. Other people may be rapid metabolizers, causing the drug to be processed and out of their system too quickly to have the desired effect.

Pharmacogenetics can help healthcare providers more accurately identify which drugs (and doses) are likely to work best for an individual BEFORE they are treated, to help them feel better as soon as possible, with minimal medication "trial and error".
